ZAM's Final Fantasy XIV Site Gets a New LookSep 29th, 2010 at 3:30 PM by Pikko

ZAM re-designs its Final Fantasy XIV site just in time for Standard Edition launch!

With Final Fantasy XIV’s standard edition set to be unleashed, ZAM is pleased to announce a Final Fantasy XIV site re-design that should make searching our expansive database and wiki easier than ever! With a cleaner, fresher front page, you'll find it easier to browse through our coverage of the game.

For a guided tour of our new features and functionality, continue reading after the break. We hope you enjoy this new look, and if you have any compliments, comments, or feedback, please let us know in the forums!

UPDATE: We've adjusted links back to their original blue color make forum viewing a more pleasant experience. We are working on an alternate, darker theme as well.

Below, you’ll notice that the front page of the site and the general menu have been altered to make navigating easier. The menu selections now dropdown, which will make finding what you need faster and simpler. News articles and stories should also be easier to read and more in line with the general style of FFXIV.
